I promised you dough and paprika. I had high-falutin’ photography goals: to capture steam escaping from a savory, cheese-loaded puff. The recipe is solid and though the steam shot eluded me, I did snap some pretty pictures. It’s the words. Words leave or they hang around in awkward arrangements, flopping unglamorously and trying to propel themselves out of the rowboat.
They take sides.
I wonder if words are jealous of my new best buddy, Instagram. I need to restrain myself with the Instagram. I’m snap-happy and I love layering on those mini, moody effects.
Instagram is like the dimmer switch that’s in my NYC living room. It was there when I moved in. I’ve left it for decades despite many, MANY color and style changes. Everything looks better when you activate the dimmer switch.
You can hear Marvin Gaye getting into trouble, man. It’s a mood setter.
While I wrangle words…here’re some moody moments from my recent Instagram fest.
They are here because you are here. I appreciate that.

Do it. Lead! Rally toward the tipping point!
I owe you snacks.

How funny, I just started getting into Instagram. Well, I think so far I only have 1 picture…but I’m using the Android app and I don’t think it’s as snappy as the iPhone one. Excuses, excuses. I do love using filters though. It’s an easy way to make a picture look cute without being all techy and photography and whatnot.
I looked at this post, before but I guess my comment never took-sorry about that. I have yet to get into instagram or pinterest. There is just so much out there on the net. I have finally got the whole Google + thing in order, for now anyway.
Thanks for pulling these wonderful photos out-I wish I had the great stairway with the saying on it. Someday…Enjoy the weekend if our comments do not cross again before then!
Hi Tina. Uh oh. I’ve been monkeying around with my site for a few days. Your comment must have gotten lost in the mix…so sorry! That stairway leads to Traveler’s Thali House, an Indian restaurant in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Seattle.
I love Instagram! I can’t wait to get my new iPhone so that I can play around with it! I just love looking at everyone else’s photos from it!
I’m way behind on the Instagram fad…but at least I finally activated the app on my phone
Baby steps. Love your photos~
Your photos are beautiful! Great work with the Instagram.
